Yahoo Lifestyle Theory: the Ratliff Kids Represent the Proverb "See No Evil, Hear Not Evil, Speak No Evil"
White Lotus is back, as are a bunch of genius Reddit theories for us to pore over. While it's still early days on the show, fans have already caught some interesting moments for everyone to read into–specifically when it comes to the extremely dysfunctional Ratliff family.
We don't know much about the Ratliffs as of Episode 1, but the vibes couldn't be more off (by which we mean incestuous) with these siblings—and their dad is definitely hiding his involvement in something illegal. Which brings us to this photo of Saxon, Piper, and Lochlan:
As Redditor howiemandelrey theorized, "The still of the three siblings sitting on the boat is see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil (Saxon with sunglasses, Piper with headphones, Lac mouth covered by drink)."
Redditors also note that the Japanese maxim "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is depicted by three monkeys covering their eyes, ears, and mouth—and monkeys are clearly a prevalent theme through this season.
Following this thread to its logical conclusion, one commenter in the tread notes that—whatever this family is hiding—"Saxon doesn’t see anything wrong with it, Piper probably blocks it out but knows it goes on, and Lochy doesn’t tell ppl."
Floored by how smart viewers of this show are. If you need me I'll be coming up with theories that probably aren't nearly as good as this one.
